SUMMARY:COVID-19:  Learning from the Past\, Defining our future
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March. 19\, 3 PM ET\nHosted by the AAAS’s SciLine\n \nA year after much of America shut down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic\, there are many mixed signals about the year ahead. Case numbers and deaths remain painfully high\, yet schools and businesses are reopening and people are eager for a return to “normal”. Vaccines have been authorized\, but access to them remains deeply inequitable—yet another example of the longstanding health disparities brought to light over the last year.\n \nMany possible futures lie ahead\, but which one we inherit will depend largely on decisions individuals and institutions make in the coming months. Find out from two expert panelists how those pivot points could define our collective future\, and get science-informed perspectives on what COVID’s second year may bring.\n \nDr. Michael Osterholm\, Regent’s Professor in Public Health and Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at University of Minnesota \nDr. Camara Phyllis Jones\, Senior Fellow and Adjunct Professor at Morehouse School of Medicine and past president of the American Public Health Association.\n \nRegister online

DESCRIPTION:March 23 \nAmerican Diabetes Alert Day \nDiabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. according to the American Diabetes Association. This observance is held every fourth Tuesday in March; it’s a one-day\, “wake-up call” asking the American public to take the diabetes risk test to find out if they are likely to develop  type 2 diabetes.

Left untreated or poorly managed\, diabetes and related complications lead to excess hospitalization\, millions in additional medical costs and premature death.
